The logging that took place on Sumas recently wiped out the Freeway Bob section of TimeKiller. Over the past few weeks, we’ve done alot of work putting the trail back in and now that the trail’s been generally cleared of debris, alot more effort is needed to make it ridable. We need you!
Come on out this weekend for a quick and dirty trail day.

Are you qualified to participate in this clinic?
You’re qualified to participate in this series if you have a couple years of experience riding cross country, and have some beginner downhill experience. You are comfortable on double and single track trails with moderate inclines and declines but you are uncomfortable on steep declines, small drops, small jumps, and riding narrow man-made features.
I’m sure many of you have seen Brock’s work. Several of his films are available on Broadband Sports; he was kind enough to put together a short film focusing on FVMBA-oriented trails that was shown at our last movie premier. And more recently, he’s released his latest effort: Peatspeed & Marshmellows.
Well, this latest production has been noticed far and wide, and recently, he was contacted by the good people over at Huckmonkey. Way to go Brock!!
Well, the moment we’ve been waiting for (and dreading) is finally here. Logging is underway on a large section of Time Killer. For your own safety, please stay off the trail as it is closed (and totally unrideable) until further notice. Check back here for updates.

It’s time to give some love back to some of the Valley’s most used and abused trails! We’ll be meeting at the main parking area (by the golf course) at 9:00 am on Sunday November 4. There will be some tools, but it never hurts to bring your own.
There’s active logging on TimeKiller right now, with trees down both above and below the new road cut about 1/2 way down.
Please stay off the trail until they are done.
We are really disappointed - we all knew this logging was coming, but in our discussions with the logging company, they weren’t going to carry on the work until December. The whole point in keeping us informed is so we can put the word out, and try to ensure riders stay off the mtn for a while. There’s nothing worse than a tree falling on your head, or meeting a loaded truck around a blind corner.
